Wow, two posts in one day?! Shocking, I know...
I finally got around to typing this out. This is an "odd" song that I recently wrote, still not sure how I feel about the imagery and the tone to it. I also haven't played for anyone yet, maybe I should do that, too... Your comments and impressions are more than welcome!
"Drown"
Verse 1
Fall into the sea,
Where we can finally be
Alone and so free,
Drowning peacefully,
No one can save you,
There's nothing you can do,
Nothing to hold to,
Just sink into the blue
Prechorus
Let your last breath out,
Wash away your doubt
Chorus
Drown with me,
Stolen by the sea,
We'll grow gills and fins,
And let our new life begin,
Underneath the waves
Verse 2
This is how we hoped it would end
You and I together again
Breathe your first breath in
First of the mer-women
Forever we can be,
Explorers of the sea,
The ocean's king and queen,
Living blissfully
Prechorus 2
Our new home is here,
What have you to fear?
Chorus 2
Drown with me,
Sleep in the sea,
Our scales shining in the sun,
When our new life has begun,
Underneath the waves.
*Fin* (Dah-bum-pssh)
Tell me what you think!

I suck at blogging...
...but if I said that every time several weeks passed between my blog posts, all of my blogs would be titled "I suck at blogging..." Which is true, yes, but not particularly creative or witty.
I'm still working on my story idea for NaNoWriMo, which scares me just the teensiest bit because it begins on Sunday, and if I still haven't decided what I'm doing by then, it's gonna end up looking like a major hot mess come December. This is what I know so far...
1.
It's not a ghost story. (or Ghostbusters story, for that matter.)
2. It involves dystopian America. Yes, I know, that's the 'it' thing nowadays (or it might not be, I dunno. Are people still obsessed over vampires? I hope not...), but I really like the idea of deserted city-ruins and wastelands.
3. It involves bad guys called the "Truthless Heroes," which is a name I stole from an album by Project 86, pixx0r'd here:
(Said Truthless Heroes are neither superheroes nor bodies with monitors for heads. But they ARE evil. And truthless.)
4. One of the main characters is named Six. Whether that's his actual name or a nickname I haven't decided on yet. Probably the logical former.
5. There are going to be two minor characters named Lora and Emma who are making a documentary during the events of the story. In all likelihood, they will be nothing like my friends Lauren and Emily, but you never know...
6. There's going to be a lot of misdirection and chaos. But that's just how I write :)
I'll give you guys more updates on the story as I figure them out, and I might post excerpts if I have time.
Take care!
